About

I am a self-taught food enthusiast, holistic medicine advocate, and an nutritionist in training based in New York.
The Cooking Optional blog is dedicated to healing foods and alternative medicine to help achieve optimal health.
After being diagnosed with endometriosis and undergoing a tedious surgery and recovery, I set out on a mission to find natural ways of healing myself. Through mostly raw food and yoga lifestyle, I am controlling my condition and educating others on how they can improve their health. I am continually educating myself and hope to achieve my certification for holistic nutrition soon.
If you have any nutrition questions, feel free to contact me or post a comment.

My juice fast didn't work out that week because I came down with a cold. However, it was minor and only lasted 3-4 days. Before, I remember I would get sick for at least a week, so this was an improvement in my mind. I didn't have much body aches, no fever, no swollen glands, no cough, and no plugged ears. I did have the stuffy/runny sniffles though, but it wasn't bad.

But now that I am back to normal and feeling great, I can once again keep you up to date on the latest health news. Last weekend, i attended my second NewLife Expo in the city. I attened a few lectures and learned some new fascinating things. I gathered enough informaiton to write a lot of posts, so keep checking in.
